Are Thoughts Material Or Not?

[SimpleGuy]

I hear sometimes that thoughts are material. But yeah, I can think about food and go get some food and eat it. In this sense thoughts are material.

But some spiritual people say that thoughts are material in other sense. So what is it?

Thoughts are subtle body phenomena, I dont have a good analogy for it, they interact with the body and energy system but arent limited by it. 

[Leo Gura]

Nothing is material.

Material is a meaningless word. It means nothing.

@SimpleGuyWhen you die you will still be able to think.

If it's directly experienced is it material to some degree -- in the sense that it is sensed?  I feel like we're quibbling over words.

[Someone here]

A thought is a thought about a thought .
